Rage Against the Machine lyrics.

They’re pulling out of the Paris accords and doubling down on fossil fuels, we’re all going down.

Both houses of which are under Republican control. So you’re only going to argue details instead of actually responding to the content?

Of the 261 million adults in the US, about 73.5 million of them voted for Trump. That’s about 28%. When factoring in non-adults, that number goes to just under 22%. That’s not anywhere close to a majority.

For point 2: What about people who voted for Harris and who will definitely be persecuted under republican domestic policy? What about people in other countries who will suffer and die from republican foreign policy? What about everyone on the planet who will suffer even more from climate change due to republican environmental policy?

First: The commander-in-chief doesn’t control the military?

Second: Even if he didn’t, how would that matter for Ukraine? Removing both their support and the sanctions on Russia would still hurt them a lot.

Wasn’t Fox News started specifically to ensure that wouldn’t happen again?

Is no one else gonna do it? Alright, guess I’m it.

Steve Harvey: “We asked 100 people, what is the male reproductive organ?”

Contestant: “The penis”

SH: “A WUH… HUH??”

audience erupts into laughter

Steve Harvey grabs onto podium to support himself

laughter gets even louder

SH: O lordy…

one man goes into cardiac arrest and many others begin vomiting profusely from laughing too hard

SH: YOU PEOPLE NEED HELP

the Earth shatters and Satan rises from the underworld to claim unworthy souls

the universe begins rapidly closing in on itself

SH: (putting on a weary voice) Survey says…

the board shows 100 for “penis”

Harvey is able to get off one more shocked look before existence as we know it comes to an end

The damage to the environment will never be undone. The US will double-down on emissions and most other countries in the world will stop trying because they won’t think there’s any point anymore.

The country with the biggest military of the world, who they have received a lot of support from, just elected a president that supports the dictatorship committing crimes against humanity in their country. Do you not see how that is problematic?

I think Biden still believes that things can swing back in the midterms or next presidential election. I don’t think he realizes that this might have been the last election that was possible to win.

If he does something drastic, he’d probably hand even more popular support to the Republicans in general and to Trump in particular who would play victims as much as they could.

If he does nothing, it might be the end of democracy, not just in the US but in most of the world. But he will have “accepted defeat gracefully” and considering he won’t live to see the worst of it, I imagine that’s all that matters.

Edit: Just watched his speech. Nope, he thinks this is business as usual.

Yeah, great fun watching the planet we all share start boiling and ruining the future not just for our own species but for millions of others.

I would guess that she’s trying to separate the voters from the representatives, so that when someone calls out a republican politician for being racist, they have a harder time convincing their voters that she was calling them racist as well.

Right now it seems like people see their political party as their identity, there are both democrats and republicans who do it but I’d say it is far, far more common with republicans.

You can, and should, hold your representatives accountable when they do bad shit, regardless of whether you voted for them or not, and if your party starts standing for things that are worse than another party then you should change who you vote for.

It’s a long road to get back from this division in the US, but I hope there’s a future where it’s possible.

I can add that if you ever say something that you yourself think was stupid, it’s often better to just own up to it than to play it off (within limits). Something like “That was a stupid thing for me to say, I’m sorry, you’re just very beautiful and I’m a bit nervous” as an example.

Implying that the only two options are supporting Israel committing genocide or Hamas committing terrorism is like straight out of of the Israeli regime’s playbook.

To be fair, had it been possible to control hurricanes, I have no doubt that Blackrock would try to use it to extract profit but they’re hardly alone in that.

Wait, you have to be happy for that?

Guess I’m into men.

Max Verstappen approves of this comment.

I agree that it’s likely made up, and that the guy likely has a lot of misogynistic views, but you at least don’t need to misrepresent the post.
